   ASI raises $325M Series C at $3B valuation to expand AI for air traffic and defense

   ASI, the Boston company formerly known as Air Space Intelligence, announced Tuesday a $325 million Series C round valuing it at $3 billion, led by Spark Capital with affiliates of Citadel Securities, Meritech Capital, Craft Ventures, Energy Impact Partners and Andreessen Horowitz participating. Its software models air traffic, power grids and military operations hours, days and weeks ahead so operators can act before problems spread. The round follows a June $875 million, 12-year FAA contract won ahead of Palantir and Thales, and a five-year, $99 million US Army command-and-control contract in October; the FAA began using the system around Washington and plans a national rollout, according to The Next Web and SiliconANGLE.

   REA backlash: client hardening, anti-AI reversing tools and trojan fake repos

   A 字母AI article republished by 钛媒体 describes the fallout from REA, an agent that does not decompile itself but orchestrates tools such as Ghidra, IDA and Hopper. French tech blogger Korben tested it with Opus 5.5: the agent wrote a working Python keygen for a crackme binary in about two minutes at roughly $0.5 in API cost, and the keygen passed verification with 479 random usernames. Elias Bachaalany, co-author of Practical Reverse Engineering, called it hype, noting GhidraMCP and IDA Pro MCP already enabled AI-assisted reversing in 2025. The article also reports Thales releasing Sentinel Envelope Plus, which in Thales' own controlled test left an agent finding none of 10 vulnerabilities it found in the unprotected app, with 970x token consumption; and a fake GitHub org, rea-tools, shipping an 82.6 MB trojanized archive that had been downloaded 172 times when reported, after which maintainers merged a README warning on Oct 13 listing only three official channels.
